What is the reasoning for not being able to view content on suspended accounts?Say a couple rude things on a bad day and you're just gone? https://t.co/z9BfbFsJW1

Deleting your tweets is worse than death for me. You're ripping a part of you away from me. I can't mourn, even though you are gone.

Retroactively removing everything that isn't related to offending content punishing more than the offender.https://t.co/asc4bHepcO

Don't confuse calls for empathy as cries of tolerance; could you to try avoid bystanders when aiming for outgroup? https://t.co/Nj3StPkoIg

It's upsetting to me how blunt of an instrument the current suspension method is.https://t.co/gf70Wx8I8f

If you construe Twitter as a crowdsourced distributed AI system for meaning making powered by meat, it's technically very efficient. https://t.co/3Cdju8TEpq

I value twitter, but this suspension system is opaque. Am I next? What If I say something wrong on a bad day?https://t.co/4HZ5fKP0SU

Thanks to my time on twitter I've improved leaps & bounds in both my confidence, and my outlook. Made friends even.https://t.co/dFQYZiatc3

The way I cope with fear is by learning the things that scare me. Please forgive me. I am grateful for what I've learned of you so far. 🙇

I'm not mad at Twitter. They've made a thing and it's helped me. But It's too big to put in the necessary roots they need to do this right.

People using your platform don't care about your platform, they care about communities and networks you've helped them build.Keep helping.

I started Twitter because I wanted to connected with @zefrank and that lead to so many great things in my life.https://t.co/oroPYgsqpt

I don't care how many favs/tweets/follows I get. I care about genuine engagement and constructive/helpful conversations. Hard to measure.

Social Media is making art on [cave] walls and [sitting around a campfire] telling stories.Also bots, so many damn bots.

If you care about us, build system that last. Design for sustainability. Make users at the center of the ecosystem. https://t.co/biKIIxmFZZ

I can't trust my effort here, in learning and making meaning, isn't going to be undermined by a constrained system.https://t.co/VokpwrMddh

I don't know why I care. I feel like I'm vacillating between screaming at the void and hyperventilating in a sort of panic.Life goes on. https://t.co/yo77K8UIr1

It's interesting to model social-x's as meaning-making platforms leveraging behavioral adaptations re-purposed from collective foraging.

On mastodon, I can still retoot content from accounts on servers that don't even exist anymore. It's chaotic and decentralized, but my connections aren't arbitrarily deleted because of some norm violation on a bad day.I'm angry.
